What a long name! I'm ashamed to say that I only started moisturising recently. I never really thought about it before but I have seen the error of my ways. I didn't really know what to look for when it came to a moisturiser but for now, my criteria is as follows: it has to be light, long-lasting and not appear too greasy on the face. Fortunately this moisturiser ticks all the boxes and it is the Garnier Fresh Essentials Hydrating Day Care Moisturising Cream.

The moisturiser comes in a cute little 50ml pot. For 50ml you get quite a lot for your money. I've been using this everyday for about four months and I've used up about 1/4 which goes to show it is very long lasting. As soon as you open the lid the lovely fresh smell is apparent, honestly, it smells lovely! The moisturiser itself is a greeny/pale yellow colour which I was quite surprised about and wondered how it would look on my skin but once rubbed in it is transparent.

I was worried about how this would be underneath my make-up but as it is so lightweight on the skin it's barely noticeable. I find that a 10 pence piece is enough to moisturise my entire face so a little does go a long way, however the moisturiser is quite thin. It isn't greasy at all either and soaks into the sink really quickly. This moisturiser makes my skin feel really soft and any dry patches on the face are quickly cleared up. I am really impressed with this moisturiser and will definitely be repurchasing.
